ROBERT B. WHITMARSH. OF LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA.

WATER-BAG.

Application filed January 23. 1913.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, Ronnn'r B. WHIT- MARSH, a subject of the King of En land, residing at the city of Los Angeles, in the 'county of Los Angeles and State of California, have invented new and useful Im-' provements in Water-Bags. of which the following is a specification.

ater bags as now constructed do not conform to the outlines of the face and are therefore not adapted to produce the best results when used for facial treatment.

It is the object of my invention to provide a water bag which will conform to the outlines of the face and at the same time will permit the person on whom it is being used to breathe freely.

' In the drawings forming a art hereof: Figure l is a side elevation, part y in section, of my improved water bag. Fig. :2 is a top plan.

The walls 1 and 2 of my water bag are in shape the same as the segment of the walls of a hollow globe. \Vall 1 is the segment of a globe of a little greater diameter than that of wall 2. These walls are connected together at the center and a central aperture 3 cut out so as to form an aperture through which the person on whom it is used may freely breathe. The bottom portions or outer edges of the walls are conncted by a curved circular bottom piece. A filling nozzle 4 of ordinary construction is provided.

In using the bag, after it is filled about one-third to one-half full, it is laid on the face of the person on whom it is used after such person has placed himself or herself in a recumbent position with the face up. The

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Jan. 26. 1915.

Serial No. 143.707. I

central aperture is placed so that the air will freely flow therethrough to the nose of the person on whom it is bein used. The walls are made of any suitable exible water proof material.

By making the walls in shape the segment of a hollow globe when partially or wholly filled the bag will conform to the face. If hot water is used the bag is only partially filled as the steam will rise to the top portion. A bag of this form is alsonlore useful for application to other parts as it will fit closer to the body than a bag with parallel or flat walls.

Having described my invention what I claim is A water bag of circular form formed of flexible waterproof material throughout. and comprising an inner wall and an outer-wall. said bag havin a central opening there- 'through. arounc theedges of which said walls are joined and from which they diverge to the outer edges of the bag where the are connected, both of said walls being formed upon segments of spheres but the outer wall being formed upon the segment of a sphere of greater radius than the inner al and said outer wall being eccentric to said inner wall whereby the bag as a whole is caused to maintain a concavo convex formation throughout its area.

In witness that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto subscribed my name this 14th day of January. 1913.
